Hoodlums Damage Bibire Ajape's House
Commercial motorcyclists in Ilorin, Kwara State, on Friday besieged the residence of the Senior Adviser to the Kwara State Governor on Transportation, Mr. Bibire Ajape, to protest the government's ban of okada operation on designated routes and areas in Ilorin.
Our correspondent gathered that the riders damaged Ajape's residence at Adewole Estate, Ilorin.
However, no life was lost and nobody was injured.
Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed had banned okada riders from operating on Ahmadu Bello Way (the whole length); Murtala Mohammed Road (from Government Secondary School Round About to Ola-Olu Hospital), and Abdulazeez Attah Road (from AP Round About to Oja Tuntun Baboko Junction).
Other areas are Umar Saro Road (AP Round About to MOH Round About); Obbo Road (the whole length); Zulu Gamabari Road, Ilofa Road, Offa Road, Lajorin Road and the whole of Government Reservation Area.
Ahmed's Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Abdulwahab Oba, in a telephone interview with our correspondent, however, said those that attacked Ajape's residence were hoodlums and not authentic okada riders.
